Hey, at least it says "Civil Air Patrol" cadet.

The facial expression is kind of interesting. A look of .. "Hmmm...  what next", I can't imagine her knowing a camera was "that close". The recruit comment is interesting.

But the best part, is the "Similar Photos". A wrecked car, and three photos of what could be construed as an interview or small workplace meeting.

I guess this microstock company will post anything...

I guess the recruit comment is trying to sell it or something.

This might not even be a CAP cadet. How many military schools and other cadet orgs use pips and diamonds? The folks researching this particular picture might have made an assumption. Though, the recruit thing is annoying, misleading, and just plain wrong.

There's only one wearing white/blue on BDU's.

Stock photo companies generally have no clue what they are posting at the detail level and are simply tagging files to maximum effect for search engines.

These days a lot of stock photos are submitted by amateurs who have less clue then them, though its very possible it was submitted by the subject herself.
